A cyclist is injured after colliding with a construction lorry owned by the same firm involved in the death of a rider three months ago.

The woman was taken to hospital with a suspected broken ankle after becoming trapped between the Keltbray lorry and a metal railing opposite Borough Tube station, at the junction of Borough High Street and Great Dover Street.

It is the latest serious crash involving construction lorries in the London Bridge area, where the 310-metre high Shard tower is being built within a new commercial development.

A Keltbray tipper-truck was involved in a crash that killed Muhammad "Haris" Ahmed, a 21-year-old King's College medical student, in March.

Scotland Yard said the 26-year-old HGV driver is on bail while enquiries continue. Cyclists' websites have been inundated with concerns about the number of HGVs in the area.

The firm, which has worked with the Met police and Transport for London on improving driver awareness of cyclists, is the UK's largest demolition contractor and is closely involved in the Shard project.

The latest collision happened at about noon on Wednesday last week. The London Ambulance Service said it received reports of a woman aged about 40 suffering serious leg injuries. The lorry driver stopped at the scene. He was not arrested.

A Keltbray spokesman said: "Our thoughts are with the cyclist and the driver — from our subcontractor Primagrange — involved in this accident and we do wish the cyclist a full and speedy recovery.

"The circumstances of the collision are a matter for the Metropolitan police and we obviously cannot comment on the details of how this collision took place, but it is important to note that Keltbray places safety at the forefront of all aspects of its operations — and in particular vehicle movements in busy, highly congested locations such as central London."

Mr Ahmed was on his way to Guy's Hospital campus when he died on March 9. Another man, professor David Vilaseca, 46, a Hispanic scholar at Royal Holloway, University of London, was killed on February 9 in a collision with a lorry owned by Ron Smith Recycling.
